Sardine Dip

 This is a very quick pantry appetizer that you can make on short notice and has amazing flavor -- feel free to sub any kind of smoked fish


About 6-8 oz of smoked tinned sardines or other smoked fish, drained

1 8 oz package of cream cheese

4 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 small shallot, chopped fine, or equal amt of red onion

juice and zest of 1 lemon

1 tablespoon Djion mustard

2 tablespoons capers

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce or colatura di alici or fish sauce

1/2 tsp cayenne or to taste

4 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs -- dill is my favorite, or cilantro or parsley

ground black pepper to taste


In a medium bowl, mash together cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth, mash sardines and add.  Add rest of ingredients and mix well.  Taste and correct seasonings.  Cover and refrigerate for at least an hour if you can.
